Importance of Reopening Schools ”…the AAP strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school.” “Policy makers should acknowledge that COVID-19 policies are intended to mitigate, not eliminate, risk.” “Policies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within schools must be balanced with the known harms to children, adolescents, families, and the community by keeping children at home.” “There is a conflict between optimal academic and social/emotional learning in schools and strict adherence to current physical distancing guidelines.” Source: COVID-19 Planning Considerations: Guidance for School Re-entry
